Okay, I know it's been forever, and it would have been longer if it wasn't for the game I ref. tonight. I had the kindergarten game, and this little girl, Olivia, had earrings in. I bent down and told her she needed to take them out. She looked at me and told me she couldn't. I then said go have your mom or dad help you and she looked and said, "I don't know my daddy and my mommy doesn't like to come to my games." Another one of the moms helped her get them out luckily. I am telling you, I knew right always her name was Olivia, because she looked so much like Olivia, and was extremely beautiful. She didn't hang out with the other girls on her team, but tried to become 'one of the guys.' This chapter is dictated to Olivia, along with my prayers.
Oh and in chapter 2, George was in Juvi Law second hour. Then in chapter 7 he was in English Lit second hour. Sorry, for the confusion, even though I bet none of you caught that, but to clear things up… he is in English second hour… sorry.
Abbie walked back to her apartment as quickly as she possibly could. Grabbing a pan out of the cubbies, she placed the noodles down evenly and then sprinkled a little bit of water on top before adding the sauce and cheese. Setting the oven to preheat, she went to start on her Spanish homework. They had to read a book and answer problems, all in Spanish. Picking up the book, she read question one.
"Hey, Alex, wait up!" Olivia called.
"Hey Liv," Alex said, standing so Olivia could catch up. "I thought you were going to stay."
"I'm getting sick of them talking bout Abbie nonstop," Liv said, rolling her eyes.
"Yeah…"
"So, when are you meeting…"
"At eight. He's supposed to pick me up…"
"Awe how cute," Olivia teased.
"Shut up!" Alex said, giggling.
"Well, got to rush home and finish the Spanish before…" Olivia trailed off.
"Call me later?"
"Of course," Olivia smiled as she turned on Acorn.
"Mom?" Nothing. Olivia shut the door softly and noticed her mother on the couch, beer bottle in hand. Silently she pulled the bottle out of her hand and threw it away. She then pushed her mother softly onto the couch and pulled a blanket on top of her. After brushing the hair out of her mother's face, she kissed her good-night and grabbed her backpack and finished her homework in her own room.
"Hey, is Alex there?" Olivia asked.
"Hold on Liv."
"Hey."
"Hey Alex," Olivia said, flopping onto her bed.
"Done?"
"Yeah, but I still need to do Trig…"
"Jeeze Liv, so unreasonable…"
"Are you done?"
"As a matter of fact… no," Alex said with a laugh.
"That's what I thought. So what are you doing?"
"Well, I was working and talking to George until he had to go to Abbie's…"
"Awe… she's stealing your stalker."
"I know!" Alex pouted, pretending to be mad.
"Hey, can you answer me a question?"
"What?" Alex said, pulling her hair back with one hand as she held the phone with another.
"Okay, Elliot… rumors?"
"Um… a few. I mean, nothing to bad, but most what I heard are about you…" Alex said, gulping.
"Go figure… well, I'm going to attempt to work on this so… talk to you later?"
"Of course…"
"Olivia?"
"I'm here," she said sheepishly as she sat in the back of her Juvi Law class.
"Dan Bradsfield?"
"Here," the kid next to her answer. Mr. Munch finished roll call as each person answered the Daily Question.
"Alex…" Olivia whispered quietly.
"What?" Olivia made a motion as if she had a pencil and looked up at Alex. "Here," Alex said, handing Olivia one of the hundreds of pencils she had.
"Thanks," Olivia said, answering the question about yesterday's 'lesson'.
"Pencils down, hand them in," Munch said, smiling. They all replied, putting their names on top and handing them to the person in front of them. "Okay, who is first?" he asked, referring to the projects they had to present today. "Alright… so many hands… alright, I'll pick one. Alex Cabot," he said with a smiled.
Alex stood up slowly, and presented her project, making full conversation, keeping perfect eye contact, and never stumbling over herself. She was always the best at presenting and everyone, even the teachers knew it.
Abbie sat in her English Lit class trying so hard not to fall asleep. She kept her brown hair down with her glasses on. George, who was sitting by her, waited as she drew out her plan for the green room.
"Okay, I mean it will be cool if we have the dancers in green to," she said, sketching softly.
"But wouldn't that mean that when they change…"
"Your right, stupid idea…" Abbie said with a chuckle as she brushed back her long hair.
"So, how far are you guys?" Ms. McCoin asked, bending down on her knees.
"Last night we got the purple room done… well without the dancers…" George said, looking up.
"That's good. Abbie, you doing okay?"
"Yeah," Abbie said softly, smiling politely.
"Good, remember if you have any questions…"
"Well we were debating if we should have the dancers in that color of the room or…" Abbie trailed off.
"Hmm… that's a good idea. Why don't you do that, and show someone between rooms like half green half purple dressed," Ms. McCoin offered after a moment. They both smiled and said thanks as she walked on to the next group.
"Hey you guys," Olivia said as Abbie and George walked up to the 'lunch group.'
"Hey," Abbie said, smiling.
"Marco is looking for you," Alex said with an apple in her mouth.
"Thanks…" Abbie said, looking around for the guy who was right behind her.
"Hey sweetie," he said, kissing her as he sat down beside her.
"Hey," she said, pulling away after a moment when she noticed everyone staring.
"Get a room," Olivia said bluntly.
"Fine, want to find one Abbie?" he asked treacherously.
"No," Abbie said, playfully slapping him.
The rest of the day went by. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, but what was expected? Abbie slept through her classes, Olivia stayed awake through Chem. but took a nap after the pop quiz.
Olivia walked to her locker, praying it would open for her.
"You know, if you were a little nicer to it, it might like you back," Tyler suggested, pulling his books from the top of his locker as Olivia kicked the rebellious locker.
"Oh, I love this thing," she said through gritted teeth.
"You act like it," he said before shutting his locker softly and leaving with a wave. Olivia tried again, this time it opened against a pull. Pulling her bag out, she placed her trig., chem., and Spanish books in there.
"Hey," Alex said from behind her.
"Where's Tim?"
"Oh, he is staying after…"
"I see. Where's everyone else?"
"George is coming and Fin is walking with Kimi," Alex said, shrugging.
"Abbie?"
"Liv, I don't mean to be mean but… no one likes her but you and the superiors. Most people think she is a total slut," Alex said truthfully. About that time, they noticed Abbie was standing behind them.
Abbie sped up, walking as fast as she could. She knew what she said was true. Just like her last school, every guy or older person didn't have a problem with her, but most of the girls her age always hated her.
Okay, that's it. Sorry it's short, but if you want more... try to review
